EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS.


| N00Fay y1OcSO 1AReA0e>
BY the p. = I. &c.
Since his arrival here on Satul
day last, President Wright of tn
Philadelphia and Idaho Company
has been busily engaged arranging
the details for next seasons worl
at the mines and smelling works o
the new company. Colonel Har
dess, superintendent under the OLE
P. M. 4 8. Co., is now general man
ager having charge of all the inter
ests of the present company. MI
A. L. Dean, who has filled the pos
of assayer so long, has been pro
noted to the position Of superin
tendent and will have charge of tn
smelling works and exercise a gen
eral supervision of affairs durin,
the absence of the general manager
Mr.. Wayne Darlington will fill thu
position of assayer and chemist
and Mr.. H. NJ. Stewart retains hi
place as foreman of the works.
A number of improvements viii
be put under way at the smelling
works Immediately. A large build
ing is to be erected, fitted up will
bins for the storage of coke, iror
ore, lime, etc., and will be provided
with double elevators for use il
hosting. The building will b.
tracked overhead and on the mair
floor for the purpose of running
cars to the various parts of the es
Enlistment. The water ditch lead
ing to the smelter from Warm
Springs creek is to be made o.
greater carrying capacity in order
to meet the increased demand fol
power, and will be fumed a grea1
part of the distance.
At the Silver Star mine, in Smoky
district, a 2O-stamp mill with six
teen Frue MANNERS for concentra
ton of ore, an air plant and hoist.
ing works will mark the improve
ments to be made at once, which
will entail an expense of fully sixty
thousand dollars.
At the North Star mine, on East
Fork, a complete 1O-stamp mill
with eight MANNERS is to be put up
at cost of fifteen thousand dollars
The result Of the experiments re-
Gently made in the treatment Of
ore from the North Star mine was
very successful. An immense body
of this grade of ore is now in sight
at the mine, in fact enough to KEEP
a 4O-stamp mill constantly at work
for two years. AS soon as it is
clearly demonstrated that, under
the new process of treatment, the
ore can be made to yield a profit
another set Of forty stamps with
the accompanying MANNERS will be
ordered, and it is anticipated the
eighty stamps will be in operation
before fall.
At the Silver Star mine there are
fully fifty thousand tons of ore in
sight, a large portion of which is
first-class. AS soon as the new
machinery arrives and can be put
in place, and the mine opened out
more extensively, the order now
being filled for stamps and Van
ners will be duplicated.
These improvements, both to the
smelling works and mines, will
necessitate the outlay of large
amount of money, aggregating near
ly one hundred thousand dollars,
and it is gratifying to know that the
outlook of this company's mines is
so Aattering as to justify such an
expenditure.

Is looking better than ever before.
Fourteen men are now at wOrk-all
that can be advantageously en-
ployed at present. New machinery
for the mine has been ordered, and
this in place the working of the
mine will be greatly facilitated.
There seems to be no end to the
amount of ore in this mine, and
it will be worked to its fullest ca
pacity after the machinery is once
at work.
THE DOLLARHIDE MINE
Looks extremely we'll, and fine
quantity Of ore being taken out.
Connection is being made from the
lower to the middle tunnel, and the
upraise from the middle to the up
per tunnel is completed. The ore
here shows itself to be of finer
grade than any yet found in the
mine heretofore. The property is
now in good shape to produce a
large quantity of ore, having I'M
mense stopping ground to work by
connections made with the three
tunnels, and the operations can be
carried on without any hindrance on
account Of bad air.
THE KEYSTONE NINE,
Owned by William Kirkham, has
lately come into prominence and
is earning a good reputation. The
tunnel is still being extended with
good results. A fine body of steel

A Newly Married Pair.

We had the pleasure of meeting,
Wednesday evening, Mr.. Headly
Boyd, of the Paris Tribune. He was
accompanied by his bride, formerly
Miss Eddie Clayton Wood, the ac-
complished elocutionist, to whom he
had been married on the previous
evening. They were on their way to
visit Col. John Minor, at Sailors
Rest landing, to whom Mr.. Boyd is
related, and stopped over on their
way at Erin. They left on number
2 at $50 p. M, for Col. Minors. He
could readily forgive him for not
calling on us, as he had clearly a
scriptural excuse.

A Bad Situation.

A colored tramp, who had been
lying around in the east end of Erin
on Monday, was on Tuesday morn
ing found dangerously Ill with
cholera morbns. He was promptly
cared for by his own color, assisted
by the whites, and is now recovering.
Being an entire stranger he lay one
whole day and night out of doors
without any shelter at all before his
condition was discovered to be seri-

Hon. L. L. Shelton was In town on
Tuesday. His venerable father, Mr..
Abner Shelton, was also in Erin this

see him looking as hale an hearty.

Two farmers, Smith and Jones,
who lived neighbors to each other,
once met on the road to town.
Smith was driving his own team and
was going to town with a load Of
meat and meal and vegetables to sell,
and Jones, followed by q pack OF
hounds, with a gun at his saddle bow,
and a horn slung across his shoulders
by q leather string, was riding on
horseback along behind his wagon,
which was driven by q hired hand,
returning from town with meat,
meal, -four and vegetables which he
had Just bought, and was carrying
to supply his family at home.
Said Jones to Smith: "Tell me,
neighbor Smith, how is it that you
always make something to sell,
while / invariably fail to make
enough to do me, and have to buy
provisions every year? Your farm
Is no better than mine-your family
Is larger-and you live as well as /
do-and wear as good clothes. How
does 1t happen ?" 1t does not hap.
pen at ALL" said Smith, ~ do
my own work-drive my own
wagon-and, instead of keeping
a pack of hounds, and spending my
leisure time on the farm in hunting
or fishing, l keep a shop, and set OF
blacksmiths tools, and q kit of car
penters'. and few saddlers' tools,
and employ my spare moments and
rainy days in mending harness,
stocking plows, repairing agricul.
tural implements, doing my own
shooting, and fixing up fences and
gates, / put in all my time, in both
good and bad weather, In attending
to the general interests of the farm
1t pays, you see, when man means
business. Now, if you will only sell
or give away your hounds or fishing
tackle, bly you lot of such tools a.
are useful on farm, put up a shoI

learn how to use these tools and dc
your own work when you can, and
attend strictly to business, then, i
you don't soon begin to have some
thing to sell every year, instead O
being forced to buy, why l will
agree to supply you free gratis fol-
nothing. Jones "caught on'' to the
idea, took the hint in a good humol
and now his wagon cuts a much
deeper rut in going to town thar
when returning home.

this place, while on the way in a
buggy to quarterly meeting at Paul's

He rose running and Kicking, and
after having kicked Mr.. Adams on

Neatly Turned.

Old Uncle All. Taylor, a colored
brick-mason and plasterer at Erin,
was plastering store house not long
ago for Mr.. w. r. Cooley. Cooley
had left over from covering the house,
a lot Of shingle nails, and, being an
economical man, insisted on uncle
AL. using them, as far as they would
go, in mailing on the lathes. AL.
complied humoredly, and was toll
ing and sweating, one hot summer
day, driving the single nails into
the laths, and was not inst then ex-
actly in a humor for any nonsense,
! when dapper looking smart Alec,
came in, and, after watching him for
a few minutes in silence, broke in
with: "Uncle AL. why in the thun-
der don't you use lath nails to fasten
on those laths? The single nails
are too big. Who ever heard ofany-
body but a fool putting on laths with
shingle nail ?" Uncle AL. turned his
face, streaming with perspiration,
and wrinkied with vexation on the
intruder, and, with a CHASTITY smile,
like grim death on the gate post,
replied, Marster, the sun Is shin
ingv "What in the duce do you
mean, you old idiot? Don't I know
as well as you do that the sun is
shining?" replied mis- tormentor.
Eyes marster," replied uncle AL.

that the nails is to big too, as we'll as
